Doctor 2.0

I recently read an article over at Springwise about a Doctor who makes house calls and get this…also communicates with patients via IM, text, or video chat. The article got me thinking about how many people would actually use this kind of service. I find myslef doing more and more of general life maintenance tasks online; scheduling oil changes and other random appointment scheduling. In fact I have become so use to doing this it now takes me “longer” to take the time out to pick up a phone and schedule an appointment for those things. I am not sure if I am in the minority for this type of behavior but I will say that I would actually probably use Dr. Jay Parkinson; that is if he wasn’t located in Brooklyn. I know I would definitely use online scheduling and I think added ways of communication are always a benefit, especially for a health provider. The “house calls” to your home or work are a huge time saver I am sure and also brings personal relationships back to medicine. How many of you would choose a 2.0 doctor?
